You can use actual docker-compose with podman, the -compose projects are separate from podman/docker.

podman-compose never worked well for me but docker-compose on podman did.

The CLI plugin or the script? Last time I checked the podman CLI did not support docker CLI plugins and the script is EOL since years.

    Podman has supported plugin compose (v2) for years now, and I believe that's the version I used before I switched to Quadlets, but I must have not needed Buildkit features back then because those are apparently still unsupported over v2.

      Don't know about that. I did a ddg search "using docker compose (v2) plugin with podman" I do get some tutorials but they all are from 2026. This also aligns with my experience from late 2024 where you where typical advised to use `podman compose` or the compose script.
